Chapter 240: Real Life Portrait
Coming out of Director Yu's office, Lin Anan's steps were a little faster. She was holding the contract she had just signed, and she felt so happy.
Seeing her like this, Zhao's wife thought she was very smart and joked with a smile: "Comrade Lin, now we are comrades working on the same front."
Lin Anan was slightly stunned when she heard this new name. It was very new. This was the first time in her two lives that someone called her a comrade-in-arms...
"It's my honor to be a comrade-in-arms with my sister-in-law!"
"You have nothing to do right now, how about I take you around the workshop? Take a look at the environment of our factory and the enthusiasm of our comrades."
"Sure!"
The military clothing factory is not a place that ordinary people can visit. Lin Anan is now considered a marginal figure. Now that she is here, she has to take a good look.
Mrs. Zhao must have some abilities to be able to sit in the position of director of the bedding factory. Without going into details, her popularity and interpersonal relationships are absolutely amazing.
Lin Anan was taken by her to visit various workshops and immediately became familiar with them.
"This is Comrade Lin, a designer specially hired by our factory. She is a college student and a military wife. Everyone come and meet her..."
Every time Mrs. Zhao walked into a workshop, she would enthusiastically introduce Lin Anan to the workers. The workers would stop what they were doing, look up, and politely respond with curiosity in their eyes, greeting Lin Anan.
In the end, Lin Anan blushed...
When we arrived at the cutting workshop at the end, an old craftsman stood up with a smile and said, "Comrade Lin, we have been looking forward to having you here for a long time! I am looking forward to the collision of my old skills with the new designs to create some sparks."
"This is the most experienced tailor in our factory, Master Li," Mrs. Zhao introduced.
Lin Anan smiled and nodded to greet him, "Master Li, you are too polite. No matter how good the design is, it is inseparable from your good craftsmanship."
Walking a few steps closer, I saw Master Li had a four-piece set spread out on his desk. It was the wedding style that Lin Anan allowed the factory to make.
Although it is still a semi-finished product, the craftsmanship is truly amazing.
Lin Anan reached out and touched it, then looked at the details carefully, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's worthy of being a pure handmade old craft!"
The master craftsman was not ambiguous when being praised, and his smile was filled with a bit of complacency, "Comrade Lin is right, design and craftsmanship complement each other.
However, your design is really unique, and it has posed a lot of new challenges to us old bones! But don't worry, we are also happy to take on the challenge and look forward to presenting the design perfectly. "
Lin Anan couldn't take her eyes off it, and carefully touched the workmanship. "The stitching is so fine and even, it's something that machines can't produce. And the treatment of the joints is so tight, Master Li, you are really amazing..."
As he was talking, a younger worker came over and said a little embarrassedly: "Comrade Lin, I saw your design draft before and thought it was very good, but there are some parts that I don't understand. I would like to ask you for advice."
Mrs. Zhao said again: "This is Master Li, the product technician of our factory."
That is, the first generation of designers.
"Hello, Master Li! No problem. If you have any questions, just ask."
The young worker picked up a pen and paper and listed his questions one by one with a very humble and serious attitude.
"This totem can indeed be made using embroidery techniques, but our quilt cover is large, and if it is really embroidered, the cost will be too high. Even if the selling price goes up, our manpower will definitely not be able to keep up with the production..."
Lin Anan designed the style herself, so of course she knows how to make it look good.
But we have to consider the current market environment and sales prospects. Many people are so poor that they can barely make ends meet. Who would be willing to buy a four-piece set at a sky-high price?
But his idea is very good. High-quality products will enter the market sooner or later, but not now, but after the reform and opening up.
A few people were discussing with each other, and in the blink of an eye it was almost lunchtime.
Lin Anan came back to her senses and said to everyone with a smile: "I'm sorry to have delayed your work. I have to go back. If you have any questions in the future, we can communicate at any time."
"It's time for dinner. Comrade Lin, please stay and eat with us. It's too late for you to go back now."
"The food in our cafeteria is pretty good, stay and eat together."
"Yes, we just talked for a while. I'm going to buy Comrade Lin a bottle of sweet water."
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Lin Anan stopped being shy and nodded in agreement.
Several people walked towards the cafeteria together.
The cafeteria of the clothing factory is very big, but... when Lin Anan followed a few people into the cafeteria, she was a little surprised.
The canteen of the clothing factory was in no way comparable to the canteen in the military district. There were only a few decent tables and chairs in the hall, and the few that were intact had already been occupied.
Most of the workers ate while standing with their lunch boxes in hand, while some squatted or sat, it was very casual.
"I'm going to get some food."
Someone in the cafeteria saw Director Zhao coming and waved to them, "Director Zhao, we're done eating here, come and sit down."
"Okay."
Master Li and his companions helped to prepare the meal. When Lin Anan saw Sister Zhao picking up the tickets, she hurried over to give them to her.
The meals are very simple, with brown rice as the staple food and cabbage and white radish as the side dishes.
The grains of brown rice are very large, and the cooked rice is loose and dry. It looks dull and tastes slightly bitter, and the texture is quite rough.
The cabbage was stir-fried in a large pot, and the taste and cooking time were pretty good.
The radish tastes very light. After taking a bite, I feel like there is no taste in my mouth...
Is this the big pot meal?
Lin Anan has been very good at eating since she came to this strange world.
When she first arrived at the Lin family, she was in poor health and was taken care of by her parents. The whole family depended on her for food, and Lin Anan never felt that she was treated badly in terms of food.
Moreover, Suzhou has always been a land of fish and rice, with a good harvest, so the food is naturally not bad.
Later, she came to the Northwest. Although the environment was difficult, she never suffered from food abuse because of Chu Mingzhou's care.
Now, faced with the most ordinary food, she suddenly realized that this is the true portrayal of life for most ordinary people in this era.
And this is the food for skilled workers, which is much better than those who make a living outside...
An An picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of cabbage and put it into her mouth, eating it very seriously.
Everyone continued chatting while eating, and the topic ranged from work in the factory to their respective lives.
The topics were very simple and the smiling faces were quite pure.
Lin Anan listened quietly and responded from time to time.
She was silent until she left the bedding factory and got on the bus.
The bus was swaying as it moved. Lin Anan leaned against the window, looking at the scene outside that was receding.
Even though I am an ordinary person, I still feel sad for the suffering of others...
The bus stopped at the gate of the military compound. Lin Anan tightened the contract in her hand, sorted out her feelings, and got off the bus.
Doing your job well and growing step by step is better than anything else.
